Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 282 - 87: Soul-devouring Pill

Niantang was stunned, only reacting a long time after Mo Xiaolan had left. Even with her veil on, it was obvious her forehead was flushed bright red.

"I, I am his wife, what’s wrong with me taking care of him?! You’re his confidante, you stayed by his bed all night!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Niantang’s chest rose and fell, not knowing why she was anxious or embarrassed. She angrily slapped the unconscious Qin Gengyun.

"It’s all your fault!"

"Pfft!"

Laughter sounded outside, and Niantang said coldly:

"Are you itching for trouble again?"

Liu Su dashed in from outside, wearing a satisfied smile as if she had finally gotten the pleasure she longed for, chuckling as she slipped her arm around Niantang’s.

"Saintess, you are the Empress. What’s a little consort’s sour words worth? We ignore her!"

Niantang was silent for a moment, her expression slightly darkened, muttering:

"We’re almost at the southernmost part of the Northern Wilderness. The road I can accompany him on is only the last stretch."

According to her plan, after she seized Ye Xiyue and Su Hongling’s Spirit Roots and killed the two, she herself must retreat for solitary cultivation within the Cyan Lotus Sect’s relic.

Once she emerges again, she will become the notorious Demon Sect Saintess whose hands will be stained with more blood.

She will become a demon whom the world condemns.

By that time, she and he will have no more ties.

Liu Su fell silent at her words.

"Saintess, why do you do so much for a man?"

Niantang gazed at Qin Gengyun on the bed, her cold eyes softened:

"In this world, I must leave behind something besides infamy."

"Saintess..."

Niantang suddenly stood up, her demeanor reverting to indifference, she said to Liu Su:

"I am his master. It is indeed inconvenient here, you are his sister-in-law, it’s more fitting for you to take care of him... Do not overstep your bounds."

With that, she flashed and was already out of the room.

Liu Su was stunned: "What, you all left and just left me alone? I want to sleep too!"

No one answered despite calling for a while, Liu Su sat angrily at the bedside, grabbing Qin Gengyun’s firm chest:

"I’ll reach out, I’ll grab it, what of it?!"

...

The next day.

Qin Gengyun finally woke up.

He was pinched awake.

When he opened his eyes, Liu Su was lying beside the bed, already asleep, her little hand still clutching his abs.

Qin Gengyun, annoyed, slapped her hand away, got out of bed, then recalled the scene before he fainted.

At that time, he used the Setting Sun technique, only halfway through it, his Spiritual Energy was rapidly drained as if swallowed by a whale, because his body overextended, resulting in a direct collapse.

It’s likely the same if he used Moon-breaking.

The techniques his master taught indeed have amazing power but are more suited for Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Learning them now seemed rather premature.

Previously, his master never behaved this way, why the sudden rush?

While Qin Gengyun was pondering, Niantang and Mo Xiaolan had already come inside. Seeing him awake, Mo Xiaolan’s face lit up with a joyful smile:

"You’re awake, how do you feel?"

Qin Gengyun replied with a smile, "I’m already recovered, I can feel the Spiritual Energy inside me, thank you."

Mo Xiaolan smiled like an orchid, "There’s no need for such politeness between us."

She had said this to Qin Gengyun for a long time in the past, but saying it now held no special meaning; however, Niantang snorted coldly beside them, interrupting their conversation.

"Teach you the techniques but you can’t use them, how incompetent!"

Qin Gengyun hurriedly bowed in salute, "Master, thank you for channeling Spiritual Energy to me."

Niantang’s face eased a little, she turned and walked out of the room, "Follow me, you’re not allowed to follow!"

The former sentence was addressed to Qin Gengyun, the latter to Mo Xiaolan.

Qin Gengyun gave Mo Xiaolan an apologetic look, she shook her head with a smile, signaling him to go quickly, thus he left the room to follow his master.

The master and disciple arrived at the bamboo forest from the day before, the breeze stirred gently, the bamboo leaves rustled with a rhythmic sound.

Niantang waved her hand, a talisman flew out, transforming into an Isolation Array, blocking external peering.

Niantang stood with her hands behind her back: "Setting Sun and Moon-breaking you can’t use, what if you encounter a strong enemy?"

Qin Gengyun bowed, "Master, please rest assured, I will train diligently and practice the two techniques earnestly. Once my cultivation breaks through to Golden Core, I might harness seven or eight-tenths of their power."

Niantang sneered, "You faint after using them, how do you practice?"

Qin Gengyun quickly replied, "I will try to use only a small portion and retract the move quickly, so it won’t exhaust my Spiritual Energy, yet it will temper the techniques’ control, killing two birds with one stone."

Niantang hummed lightly, saying nothing, which actually signified her agreement with Qin Gengyun’s method.

She then extended her jade hand, and already in her palm was a bright emerald green pill.

The pill was vividly colored and looked quite striking, but Qin Gengyun’s expression shifted slightly:

"Heart-devouring Pill?"

Niantang let out a cold snort, Qin Gengyun was stunned, then looked up at her in disbelief:

"This is... Soul-devouring Pill?"

Qin Gengyun had delved into Alchemy Dao for many years, although many High Grade Pills in the community lack pill formulas and can’t be concocted, he knows enough about their forms and effects.

There is a type of pill specifically used to control others.

The most domineering among them is the Heart-devouring Pill.

Users infuse their Spiritual Power into the pill, or the pill itself is made by them, marked with their signature.

Anyone who consumes it will experience unbearable pain in their meridians and Spirit Field.

Only the user’s Spiritual Power can temporarily alleviate the toxin; if the consumer disobeys, the user won’t spare the antidote, leading to rupture and death of the meridians and Spirit Field.

This pill is viciously domineering, its creator lost to history, known only that many Demon Sects are adept at making them.

However, the Heart-devouring Pill is effective only against Golden Core or lower-level cultivators; controlling Nascent Soul Cultivators requires higher-grade pills—

Soul-devouring Pill.

Qin Gengyun had seen the illustrations of these two pills; both were green, but the Soul-devouring Pill was of deeper hue, hence Qin Gengyun’s mistake.

This was because the Heart-devouring Pill was already a Fifth Grade Pill, quite rare.

Soul-devouring Pill was an even rarer Sixth Grade Spirit Pill, not something a Major Sect leader could easily produce.

Unexpectedly, his master produced such a level of pill, wonders never cease.

"Not bad, you did recognize it, indeed, this is the Soul-devouring Pill that can make Nascent Soul Cultivators obedient. You take it, decide how you use it."

Niantang’s tone was icy, yet such a precious Soul-devouring Pill had already flown into Qin Gengyun’s hand.

There was only this one Soul-devouring Pill in the entire Cyan Lotus Sect, and she originally intended to give it to Qin Gengyun after his cultivation reached Golden Core; however, time was running out.

Qin Gengyun knelt, "Master, this pill is too valuable, I can’t take it!"

Niantang snorted coldly, and the Soul-devouring Pill already flew into his arms.

"Just a pill, what’s so valuable? If you don’t take it, you’ll feel my whip!"

With that, a teaching whip fashioned from bamboo appeared in her hand.

Seeing her angry, Qin Gengyun had no choice but to take it; only then did Niantang’s voice soften somewhat, withdrawing the Isolation Array:

"Continue body refining today."

"Yes!"

Qin Gengyun bowed in response. At this moment Niantang suddenly snorted coldly, summoned a red-colored Spiritual Qi Bullet, which pierced through a nearby large tree.

"Who is there, come out!"
